Table Topic: Growing Your Business Through Transformational Innovations
Brandon Barnett has spent his career experimenting with strategies to achieve new growth businesses: inventing new technologies, incubating new businesses, and most recently researching fundamentals of new market landscapes. Currently, as Director of Business Innovation in Intel Labs, Brandon is focused on executing research programs in the area of business analytics and external incubation. He combines complex systems theories with ethnographic research, business theory, and predictive markets to develop data-based business frameworks that point to new bases of competition in emerging market landscapes.
Table Topic Description:
Research shows that over 70% of business growth is generated from Transformational Innovations. However, they are often treated as peripheral strategies and lack support and adequate resource allocation. How can companies put their analysis to work and bring these transformational innovations to the center of strategy development? Dr. Barnett leads a discussion about what it means to create strategies through the lens of industry transformation. In this keynote, Dr. Barnett will describe how his team at Intel studies dynamics in the social, economic, business and technology foundations of industries and executes innovation programs that probe the transformation potential (vs market potential) on core business and growth strategies.
